Here's a good zombie book, my 1978 hardcover of Dawn. The original is still my favorite zombie film. Amazon shows the book being re-released Nov 8.

I read the free trial (the first 40 or so) pages of WWZ last night. It was OK. He's not the most gifted of writers, IMO, but it was fairly interesting. Can't decide if I want to finish it or not.
AMC announced today that it has picked up The Walking Dead for a season 3! That was fast!
Did anyone find the music kind of odd when they walked up to the school for supplies and saw the bunch of zombies? It was almost like comedic. I also wish they would show more flashbacks on what was going on when the people started to become walkers and the chaos that was going on while Rick was in a coma.
I don't remember the music. I'll see if I can catch a rerun to see it.Quote:

Yeah, it was pretty bizarre music. I love flashbacks in shows. I think you're right about this season.Quote:

Heh, I set the DVR for it, too. I think it might be recording now.Quote:

Arrrghh, I lost power and missed TWD last night!!!
Walking Dead is probably one of the best ongoing comic book series out there... but the show was a pretty big disappointment.
I'm really enjoying the show. Last night's final plot-twist really blew me away.
+1 I was pretty surprised too.Quote:

I just watched the entire Dead Set U.K. zombie mini series. Pretty good, I enjoyed it. Interesting ending. Not typical zombies, they were more like the rage virus Zeds from 28 Days Later.
I also thought Dead Set was pretty entertaining. It had a little dark humor mixed in and some over the top gore.Quote:

Why did Shane shave his head? What caused the bald spot? The zombies or the fat guy?
Otis pulled a hank of hair out.
